How do I care for my garment?

Love it. Take it out on Fridays. Cuddle with it Sunday mornings. Don’t feed it or get it drunk and when you put in the washing machine keep it in cold water with like colors. If you must use the dryer use a low temp and keep in mind that the leather and cotton react differently to moisture. Do not iron the artwork.
